Family event draws a healthy
crowd

Hundreds of families have fun with Go
Golborne!

Hundreds of children and families had
lots of healthy fun at a community event organised as part of the
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Go Golborne healthy
lifestyle initiative. The event took place on Saturday 11 November
at the Venture Community Association and was organised in
partnership with the Golborne Community Champions, local volunteers
who work to improve the health of local residents.

A wide variety of local organisations
ran activities to promote different health messages and make
families aware of services on offer to help them eat well and keep
active. Children played lots of games including one to guess the
amount of sugar in popular food and drink products and one to name
exotic fruit and vegetables. Alongside the usual face painting fun,
children also took part in lots of health themed arts and crafts
activities – creating healthy snack boxes to take home, potting
garlic bulbs, making decorations for bikes and scooters and much
more!

Parents were able to pick up lifestyle
advice from local Health Trainers and Mytime Active nutritionists
whilst their children made use of the Centre’s famous adventure
playground. Families were treated to performances of African
dancing and from local musician Alexander D Great, who has created
several catchy health themed songs for children.

Reflecting on the event Ellie Lewis, Go
Golborne co-ordinator said ‘It was brilliant to see so many
children and parents enjoying the day – the atmosphere was really
buzzing. It was a great opportunity to promote local health
services and messages in a fun way and bring the community
together. The feedback from children and parents is that they want
more events like this and we will certainly try to make it
happen!’
